Inhale, exhale; Inhale, exhale; Inhale, exhale...... Lei Zhen keeps practicing this instinctive action that any normal person can naturally do every day, and Ma Lan will always throw an empty iron box to a certain position next to Lei Zhen from time to time, when the empty iron box falls to the hard ground and makes a soft "dang" sound, Lei Zhen must quickly turn around in two seconds, aim at the direction of the sound, and raise the rifle made of wood nails in his hand. And at the same time as he raised his gun to aim at the target, Lei Zhen had to complete a "half lung" breath!

Don't underestimate the rifle made of wood and a steel tube in Lei Zhen's hand, although it can't really shoot bullets, and its appearance is so ugly that people want to laugh from the bottom of their hearts when they see it, but it is Ma Lan's own training equipment tailored for Lei Zhen!

Those veterans who have been in a hundred battles and already have a special sense of weapons, as long as they can pick up this "rifle" with rough workmanship, the disapproving smile on their faces will completely freeze. Because this one is spliced together with wood and steel pipes, and a part of lead is added to adjust the overall sense of coordination, both in terms of weight and feel, it is exactly the same as a real rifle!

And the trigger of this rifle ...... It was a strange prop formed by Malan who used a file and a few pieces of channel steel to polish the parts little by little, and assembled them with springs that were removed from the clamps and readjusted in strength and hardness.

Lei Zhen always thought that Ma Lan said that he could teach him to make a rifle, which was an exaggerated declaration, but in the face of such a trigger mounted on the "rifle", Lei Zhen believed it.

Anyone who really knows how to use a gun knows that when attacking a target, it's definitely not as simple as pulling the trigger to the end. On a good rifle trigger, there are generally two distinct phases of power. In the first stage, the finger only needs to exert less force to pull the trigger down, and when the trigger is pulled to a certain extent, heavier force must be applied in order to pull the trigger. Once you feel that the finger pulling the trigger encounters a large resistance, it is the critical point at which the trigger is about to be completely pulled down and the bullet is about to be fired!

Ma Lan spent three whole days making this set of triggers for Lei Zhen with a file, just to let Lei Zhen learn how to use his fingers to press the trigger with the most appropriate force, so that the trigger will continue to be at the critical point of pulling but not firing. Only a shooter who is proficient in this "finger pressing" technique can shoot bullets as quickly as possible when he finds a target on a battlefield that has already begun to engage in close firefights.

"There is a limit to the speed of human nerve reactions, and this nerve reaction speed depends on a person's talent, special operations experts have gone through countless experiments in this field, and now it has been proved that this kind of nerve reaction speed will never be improved because of acquired training. Under this premise, if you want to outlive a gifted enemy in a narrow encounter, you have to practice hard again and again on the training ground until you integrate that feeling of force and reaction into your life instincts, and you can win! ”

"If I can master this technique to perfection, how much faster can I outperform the enemy in terms of pulling the trigger alone?"

In the face of Lei Zhen's inquiry, Ma Lan raised his eyebrows lightly and replied, "One life!" ”

Lei Zhen nodded, walked to a corner of the field with the "rifle", closed his eyes, and became a stone statue that was completely frozen. Lei Zhen needs to use the trigger sharpened by Ma Lan with a file under his fingertips to feel the contrast between the fingertips and the elasticity of the trigger, or in other words, to feel the kind of suppression to the limit, the alternation of movement and stillness, the cycle of life and death, that amazing moment!

This kind of thing, which really sounds like those ancient heroic duels that Mr. Storyteller talks about, is full of a feeling that looks incisive, but unrealistic. But on the battlefield, two outstanding soldiers meet in a narrow way, victory and defeat, life and death, the distance between them is such an instant!

If you press it too lightly, it loses its meaning; The pressure was too heavy, as long as there was a slight stir, or even just a few dozen meters away, a loud laugh suddenly came, which might make Lei Zhen's fingers tremble slightly, and completely pull the trigger under the index finger of his right hand.

"Steady, steady, steady......"

Lei Zhen said such things to himself again and again in his heart, but from time to time there was still a "click" sound that was completely suppressed from the trigger under his finger.

"Could it be that my fingers are not strong enough, so after pressing the trigger, this mistake of not being able to fully grasp the power is made?"

With such an awareness, Lei Zhen began to spontaneously and consciously open his fingers and do acupressure push-ups on the ground. In this way, the push-ups made by supporting the body with ten fingers can best train people's finger strength, Lei Zhen went from doing 200 acupressure push-ups a day to finally doing 500 acupressure push-ups a day. But a week later, although the situation has improved, Lei Zhen still pulls the trigger completely from time to time.

"Perhaps, I should train the strength of my right index finger specifically?"

With such doubts, Lei Zhen fell in love with helping the kitchen man to carry water, hooked the bucket with one finger of his right index finger, and shuttled back and forth between the water tap and the kitchen. Until his right index finger was swollen and painful by the heavy bucket, Lei Zhen refused to let go.

In this way, two weeks have passed, Lei Zhen's finger strength has been so big that he can hook a bucket weighing forty or fifty pounds, and he walks more than 100 meters without changing his face.

But I don't know why, after so much preparation, after thinking about it for so long, my fingers already have a stable surname and a coordination surname that are tougher than steel wires, but Lei Zhen just can't control his fingers, and he will still make mistakes again and again. Every time the resistance felt on the fingers suddenly leaked, the trigger was pulled, and the spring made a soft "click" sound, and Lei Zhen's heart would be slammed with it. The feeling of depression that he had put in all his energy and effort, but still couldn't break through, made Lei Zhen so sad that he just wanted to throw the rifle in his hand to the ground and step on it a few more times.

At this time, Lei Zhen, whose intuition was more sensitive than that of a beast, did not pay attention, and Ma Lan had already quietly walked behind him. And Lei Zhen's son has long been accustomed to Ma Lan's existence, and he even shook his tail in a friendly manner at Ma Lan, a woman who often makes her father miserable.

Ma Lan put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Do you want to know what the problem is?" ”

Lei Zhen Huo Ran turned his head and blurted out: "I think!" ”

Looking at the big boy in front of him with his eyebrows twisted together, and looking at his right index finger still on the trigger, Ma Lan smiled, she really smiled.

"From the first day I taught you how to practice guns, I found a problem. You don't have any real training, you're completely on your own and you're trying to practice shooting, and I must say you're a very talented person who works hard and does things very hard. It is because of your hard work and perseverance that you can have good marksmanship without formal training, but at the same time, you will also have quite a lot of detail errors when shooting. These mistakes have gradually become your habits over time. Facing Lei Zhen, who still had the annoyance on his face that did not dissipate, but he could try his best to listen attentively, Ma Lan smiled and said: "One of them is that you like to use the joint of your right index finger to pull the trigger." ”

"That's right, using the joint of the index finger of the right hand to pull the trigger can wrap the trigger stably, providing more force to your fingers, and it seems more convenient and stable. And many soldiers or old hunters in the mountains like to use this method. For them, this way of pulling the trigger is not wrong, because for a hunter, it is enough to hit the prey and take it home; For an ordinary soldier who has no way to shoot a few rounds at the training ground all year round, and does not even know how to counteract the reaction force of a rifle, it is even more unrealistic fantasy to ask them to constantly increase the rate of fire while ensuring the accuracy of shooting. ”

Ma Lan obviously knew what Lei Zhen was thinking in her heart, she shook her hand and easily sealed the question that Lei Zhen had rushed to her lips, "I deliberately didn't remind you, I just want you to face mistakes and failures again and again in thinking alone and training for trigger pressing; You already have quite good marksmanship, of course, you will also produce quite self-confidence, I just want you to have doubts about yourself, and even your confidence has been shaken, in this case I can help you to correct the mistakes that have been ingrained! ”

Ma Lan stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and on her fingertips, there was a thick layer of calluses, "Do you see clearly, I used the tip of my index finger to pull the trigger." The fingertips are one of the most sensitive parts of the human body, and some blind people can even use their fingers to read Braille, and it is easier for you to use your fingertips to feel the difference in the force transmitted by the trigger. You and Head Xie Jinyuan should have also learned elementary physics, then you should also be able to think that in terms of the principle of leverage, holding the trigger with your fingertips can also make your finger-shaped torque the maximum, and at the same time, when you pull the trigger with your fingertips, your right index finger will naturally return to the cage, forming a semi-arc, in this way, you can use the power of the two joints of your fingers at the same time, so that you can use the minimum force and the fastest speed to pull the trigger. ”

Lei Zhen tried to use the tip of his right index finger to press the trigger of the rifle, slowly feeling the resistance from his fingertips when the trigger was pressed down, and feeling the spring constantly accumulating potential energy in the process of his slow downward pressure, Lei Zhen could even think of the angle between the spring and the trigger that kept moving slightly. At this time, Lei Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, because he had pressed the trigger to the critical point where he had not yet fired, but he still had enough concentration to control the stability of his fingers!

Although if you want to maintain a perfect state, you must go through a long period of hard training before you can integrate this feeling and action into the deepest part of your memory little by little, forming an instinct that can no longer be forgotten, or even at your fingertips, but this feeling of ease, this kind of indescribable comfort of putting your finger on the trigger, makes all the depression that Lei Zhen has accumulated in two weeks really swept away!

Time flies by day by day...... The lone army camp was commanded by Ma Lan and Yu Decai, the platoon commander of the first company and three platoons, and they still went out on time every morning, and they still faced the east and carried out their unique "spiritual" flag-raising ceremony. The three small factories run by Lone Army are still operating, and the "Lone Army" socks, soap and other products are continuously exported, in exchange for a stable income for them. The cultural and educational activities of the whole battalion advocated by Xie Jinyuan are still being carried out, and the entire military camp seems to be in an orderly manner. The soldiers of the entire lonely army camp are fighting with their best mental outlook, and they just want to let those members of the intelligence department who are surrounding the lonely army camp and want to take advantage of the situation to carry out sabotage operations can see that although Commander Xie Jinyuan was forcibly taken away, the soul of Commander Xie Jinyuan is still there!

The struggle in the lone army camp was said to be the ronin sent by the intelligence department, the rough White Russian soldiers, and the regimental commander Xie Jinyuan, who had not heard from him for several months...... All this suddenly became very distant to Lei Zhen. Under Ma Lan's teaching, Lei Zhen practiced with an almost pathological fanaticism, holding a "rifle" that would make the White Russian soldiers laugh when they see it now. That kind of fanaticism, that kind of perseverance, that kind of perseverance, that kind of ruthlessness that erupted from the depths of his heart, even Ma Lan had to gasp lightly when he saw it, and made this evaluation: "Lei Zhen has regarded boring training as an absolute enjoyment and fun!" Otherwise, his progress would never have been so fast! ”

Lei Zhen practiced "empty lung" shooting, practiced "half lung" shooting, practiced how to maintain the necessary alert state in a high-speed assault, how to maximize the stability of the body in the roll, and carried out a difficult roll shot; How to adjust your body's center of gravity during a jump, and before your feet hit the ground, complete the "half lung" breathing technique for another breathing close-range jump sniper.

Under Ma Lan's teaching, Lei Zhen learned that as an excellent marksman, it is best not to close his left eye when aiming, although this can focus all his attention on his right eye and make the bullet shoot more accurately, but in close combat, while closing his left eye, it will also greatly weaken the observation field of his own eyes, and he will be more likely to be attacked by the enemy. When sniping at an enemy from a distance, a sniper is likely to have to lurk for a long time in order to kill the target with one shot, and if you have to close one eye at this time, your eyes will easily get tired, and a little longer will lead to vision loss.

One of the most important details that cannot be ignored is that when aiming at the target, if you close your left eye, because the front of your left eye becomes dark, the shooter's pupil will determine that the owner has entered a dark environment, and the pupil of the left eye will naturally dilate. At this time, the right eye is still open and remains of normal size, which is definitely a contradiction for the physiological state of people. In other words, the dilated pupil of the left eye will affect the state of the right eye!

In this world, there may be only one kind of person who will not be affected when he shoots with his left eye closed...... People who are born with impaired vision in the left eye, and whose brain has become accustomed to ignoring the left eye and focusing more attention on the right brain!

In the third month, Malan dug out a small mark on the butt of the "rifle" she had made herself. When Lei Zhen raised his gun to make an aiming gesture and gently pressed his cheek against the snatching stock, his cheek could always be buried in the small mark on the butt.

"In the field of real professional masters, there is also a method of shooting, which is called blind shooting. This is not to say that the shooter still has his eyes closed when he pulls the trigger, but that they have not borrowed the calipers and crosshairs on the rifle at all, but they can still accurately hit all targets within a hundred meters! ”

When Lei Zhen heard Ma Lan's words, his eyes really widened, as the saying goes, the difference is a thousand miles, without the crosshair on the rifle, how can he hit a target at a distance of 100 meters if he only feels it?!

"This is the essence of sports blitzkrieg, and it is also a watershed moment in technology, which distinguishes professional special forces from ordinary soldiers."

Ma Lan must admit that she really wants to look at Lei Zhen differently, she definitely didn't expect that in just over two months, Lei Zhen would grow to this point, and she would be taught here. "When you maintain the most stable shooting position, you have a muscle in your face, which will always stick to the same position on the butt of the gun, in other words, as long as you make this move, you should have enough confidence that a three-point line has been formed between your line of sight, the front sight and the target, and even if there is an error, it is completely negligible when shooting at a close target within a hundred meters!"

"And the reason why I left that mark on the butt, even deliberately left a little sharp burr, is to correct the position where your cheek touches the butt every time you put your face on the butt. After a long time, let you change to another real rifle, even if you don't correct it through calipers and crosshairs, your facial muscles also have their own memory, and they will directly stick your eyes to the most correct place. In this case, as long as your right eye can see the target, and you don't even need to find the crosshairs, and then follow the rules of three points and one line, you can directly pull the trigger and kill the target with one hit! In other words, if you can combine this muscle memory with the other shooting techniques I've given you......"

Speaking of this, Ma Lan raised her voice, and she said slowly word by word: "When you meet the enemy at close range, the combination of you and the weapon in your hand is the Grim Reaper!" ”

Looking at Lei Zhen, whose face suddenly rose with a fanatical look, Ma Lan said indifferently: "But if you want to have this kind of practical combat skills, you definitely can't practice it with a toy of similar weight." You have to shoot tens of thousands of live ammunition, adjust the errors that you may make when shooting, and cultivate in practice the absolute confidence that you can pick up and drop the gun and kill in one fell swoop, no matter what direction or occasion the enemy appears. Only with this kind of absolute self-confidence that can only be possessed in practice, can you play a frank and sharp momentum when you meet the enemy in a narrow way, and can you take everyone present to fight involuntarily following your rhythm. If you can't do that, you're killing yourself with this shooting technique! ”

In this lonely military camp, Lei Zhen couldn't even touch a real gun, so how could he conduct tens of thousands of live-fire training?

Looking at Lei Zhen, who had just been fanatical on his face, he was completely doused by himself with a bucket of ice water, Ma Lan suddenly asked: "Lei Zhen, from your point of view, if there is no external factor, without the support of strong allies, with the strength gap between the two countries and armies of China and Yueben, how much time will it take for us to defeat the Yueben invaders?" ”

"We can't defeat them until we bring down the economy and energy supply to Ben." Lei Zhen pondered for a long time before he whispered: "I think it will take at least twenty years before we can break the balance of victory little by little by fighting a war of attrition!" If we face the invaders like a dog, and face our compatriots like a wolf, we can be a little less; In the face of robbers, it may only take fifteen years for everyone to unite a little, to be less insensitive, and to be a little more resistant. ”

"It will take us fifteen years to win this war to defend our homeland and country." Malan continued, "Then tell me, if I give you an axe and ask you to chop as much firewood as you can in seven hours, do you think it is not advisable to sharpen your axe in one hour and then chop firewood in six hours?" ”

"The right choice."

Lei Zhen nodded and said, "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood!" ”

"Then Lei Zhen, I want you to keep yourself for another two years." Ma Lan looked at Lei Zhen deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I know your hatred for myself, but just like you just said, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter." In the past year, you have indeed learned a lot from Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan and me, but I must tell you that whether it is strategic command or special operations, what you have learned is only the most superficial surface, to put it bluntly, what you will know now is just talk on paper, without at least two years of precipitation and accumulation, it is impossible for you to truly integrate what you have learned. Whether it is me, or Commander Xie Jinyuan, I definitely don't want the students who have worked hard to train and think that they will have considerable achievements in the future will become battlefield ghosts just after leaving the school! ”

Looking at Lei Zhen, who had a complicated expression on his face, Ma Lan took out an envelope from his pocket and said, "There are four maps in it, and they are all marked with the specific coordinates of the secret training bases set up by the special service battalion directly under the teaching corps of our Central Military Academy throughout the country. These four training bases contain four different terrain environments: snowfield, desert, mountain, and jungle, in order to enable us soldiers to maintain maximum combat capability and effectively preserve their lives in any terrain environment. ”

"Now the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps has been wiped out in the defense of Nanjing, even if there are a small number of remnant troops, but in the face of the pressing of the army, the national political axe has become a mess, and the troops of various departments have been scattered and regrouped again and again, and the personnel have been changed wave after wave, and they have already been associated with the past troops. Under such circumstances, no one will care about the secret training base set up by a battalion-sized unit anymore. ”

Probably everyone has absolute curiosity and concern for the words secret, base, and treasure, and even Lei Zhen is not exempt from vulgarity. Facing Lei Zhen's wide eyes, Ma Lan continued: "In fact, the so-called secret training base is just a natural training environment that has the most representative surname, plus the establishment of a small supply depot in an inaccessible place, and the reservation of appropriate materials. You only need to follow the coordinates marked on my map, and you can find the weapons and supplies we have reserved there, although there are not many of them, and it is impossible to get new replenishment, but they are enough for you to train yourself. ”

"It's a bit too hard to train yourself in those inaccessible places. But I think you can survive alone in the mountains for three years, and now you are already strong and will not be defeated by such an enemy again! In front of Lei Zhen, Ma Lan put four maps in that one, representing the envelope of the special operations field's greatest adaptability to various terrains, back into his pocket, "The Ministry of Industry Bureau forcibly took away Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan and more than a dozen officers, whether it was the remaining officers and soldiers in the barracks, or all walks of life in Shanghai were constantly protesting against the Ministry of Industry Bureau, major newspapers and radio stations, and even published commentators' articles, I think the head of Xie Jinyuan's side must also be fighting in their own way." Judging by the attitude of the Belarusian soldiers towards us, the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Industry are probably no longer able to withstand excessive pressure and have a tendency to soften. If I hadn't misjudged, in another month at most, Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan and the remaining dozen or so officers would have been sent back. Before they come back, learn as much as you can from me, and for the rest, you will take my four maps and comprehend and hone them yourself! ”

Lei Zhen's body suddenly trembled violently, he looked at Ma Lan and asked, "You want to leave?" ”

"Yes, the reason why I stay here is because I owe you and Head Xie Jinyuan. I have taught you what I know and understand; During the period when Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan was taken away, I helped him look at the barracks, and tried every means to prevent the agents sent by the intelligence department from sabotage, and when he came back and I returned the barracks to him, I no longer owed him anything. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Lan suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, she looked at the ethereal white clouds above her head, and said in a low voice: "I have been in this military camp for almost a year, and I have also figured out a lot of things. It's time for me to do what I'm supposed to do! ”

(To be continued)
